Last night was the night for Hollywood to gather in celebration of its favorite subject–itself!  The 2010 Emmy awards were a night of fun and frolic, especially for those folks lucky enough to take home trophies for their work throughout the previous year.  It was also the end of an era for a few shows, the continuation of an era for some other shows, and a night of fashion, speeches, and lots and lots of pretending to look okay with the fact that you just got snubbed for one of the top honors of your industry.

In the drama category, the biggest winner was Mad Men, which took home the awards for best drama and best writing in a drama series; the same double was pulled off by upset winner Modern Family in the comedy category, as that show also won best comedy and best writing (ending a three-year run of 30 Rock dominance).  In the mini-series categories, it was the night of Temple Grandin, as the movie about an autistic woman took home best direction, best miniseries, best actress, best supporting actor, and outstanding made-for-TV movie.  Apparently, it’s REALLY good, or REALLY had no competition.

Here’s a list of the complete winners from last night’s awards ceremony.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
